Monitor (original) (raw)
The Monitor was the battleship of our fleet. It was equipped with 50-caliber, 40-millimeter and 20-millimeter gun mounts, two 40-millimeter grenade launchers, and an 81-millimeter mortar. Around 1969, the monitors started sporting a 105 howitzer mount used in tanks. This gun made a huge explosion and got Charlie's attention in a big way.
